From 15 to 18 June the 17th international textile industry exhibition ShanghaiTex 2015 was held at the Shanghai New International Exhibition Centre. Over 1 000 local and international exhibitors participated in the exhibition. Already on the first day, it attracted thousands of visitors from all over the world. Rieter delighted its customers with solutions in automation and innovations.

In Hall E1 Rieter presented the 4 end spinning technologies, as well as the 4 Rieter Com4® yarns and their application in fabrics and end products. Furthermore the new RSB-D 24 double-head autoleveller draw frame was shown. This innovative machine achieves a high productivity of 2 x 1 100 m/min and features independent machine sides as well as autolevelling functions. Each head therefore produces exactly the same quality and productivity already known from the RSB-D 45 single-head draw frame.

High Ranking Visitors On the Rieter booth Mr. Reto Thom (Head Sales Rieter Machines & Systems) welcomed the VIP delegation of the China National Textile & Apparel Council (CNTAC), led by the Vice President Mr. Yang JiChao.
